Refs have always hated Favors. I remember reading a Nets forum when they were playing us. One of the comments was, "the refs still hate Favors, " and this was coming from a team that traded him and a team that was playing against him. There are certain ways of moving and going with contact that make the refs call fouls even if it isn't flopping per se. Hayward does it well.

Agreed. He has an assist too, which is important for him. He has had it going this game a bit more on offense. I've come to the conclusion that we have to be very patient with him. However, when he is having an impact on the game like tonight, he needs to play more. It's a pity that Jefferson went off a little to end the half, that is, a pity for Kanter. Both of our PF's are having an underwhelming first half. Also, when Kanter rebounds, good things happen.
